The Alien Dead (1980)

Directed by Fred Olen Ray, The Alien Dead stars Larry “Buster” Crabbe (Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon) as Sheriff Kowalski in what would be his final appearance on screen.

The film opens with a meteor striking a houseboat in the swamps near a southern town, which causes the drug smoking teenagers onboard to become zombies. They soon begin feasting on all the alligators, but what do they do when they run out? Well they head into the local town!
